Once again, it shows that LEGO does not know how to manage their IT infrastructure

And with being able to buy five at once, you don't even need that many buyers.
In any case, I don't personally care about the program or want any of the
sets. I was just mad that I was trying to get work done here and the site was
unreachable.

I managed to get one of the Castle in the Forest sets but I rushed in headlong
without thinking. PayPal charged my card for the amount and I managed to wait
just long enough to see that my shipping address was correct and that it went
through but I closed the page on LEGO's site and I haven't received an
email for my purchase so I'm a bit worried. I was not logged into my account
and have no idea where I'd go or how I'd be able to see it.

Was also confused to get no E-mMil at first from Lego confirming the order. Paypal
E-Mail I got like 5mins after the order.
The Lego confirmation I got ~ 1 hour later.
So its working and we can relax  (hopefully)

If it's the safe I think you're speaking about, I believe it's functional.
I only wanted to get the castle set so I'm not entirely for sure though.

Neither was I! But then my partner showed me that you can set your own working
combination for it, and I understood why people like it. What's most surprising

There's a huge lag on the website updating. Now says the safe is sold out
in my region. Guess it was already the whole time I tried to order.
Hey ho. Expecting a robust technological solution from Lego based on "fair" purchase
limits was folly to begin with.

The Kakapo is the only one I went for, and I shall really enjoy making that if
it gets made.
The others didn't do anything for me, but I'll be getting the ruined

Like I said previously, Lego should have limited the orders to 1 per item for

I think that two would be okay. And I strongly agree with the "first week" point.
Let people who really want it have a shot at them first, and then let other people
(or even the same) get more, to be fair to the designers.

Was there limits to certain regions? If I put in Canada for the Safe or Pursuit
of Flight, they are still available, but not for the US.
|
Isn’t that the generic “limit has been reached” message on TLG for limited editions?
|
That's what I thought, but when you switch to regions where it is sold out,
it tells you before you leave the BL site.
None-the-less it appears to have resolved itself....again for the time being.
Caulk it up to the the usual IT BS.

The actual function to add the crowdfunding project to the cart is actually quite
simple:
https://www.lego.com/en-de/cart?product=910007
Though the whole integration will show you if there is still items left for you
region etc. But in the end its just a call to the lego online store cart with
the product ID attached.
Its a bit wierd though that you can actually search for a projects name and will
be presented with a "shop now CTA" which will redirect you back to the bricklink
page just to grap the project ID (and availability) from there.
So there can one get the project ID from? One can ask the javascript blapp running
in your browsers (wierd deep nesting oO)
blapp.models.models.models.map(function(e) {
e = 'Model: ' + e.strModelName + ' LegoProductId: ' + e.nLegoProductId;
return e;
});
Example Output can be seen here:
https://gist.github.com/jethroo/0f8b4218fb1cd9e8b618baf5f7494cb7
So in theory you can just call the Lego shop directly and hope for having the
project in stock still for you.

| It is a shame that bricklink didn't get more of an advertising push with
this. Such as only registered BL users get priority to order, or users with 10
feedback, or even just prominent links to BL from the lego pages.
It is not a surprise they went so fast. Lego could do limited edition empty boxes
for $50/£50/€50 and they'd sell out.

Well, that turned out to be a big scalp-fest for the resellers. And a bad day
for normal customers.
Who comes up with so ridiculously low ceilings like 5000 sets? Yes, there are
sets that would probably never make that, but I'd bet you could have sold
10k of the castles yesterday with ease.
Two more things:
1. Publish the prices beforehand so we can see what to expect. Heck, by adding
a kind of vote beforehand like "How many of this set would you buy for €xxx/$yyy
a piece?" you could actually get an idea of the real demand.
2. Put up one set at a time. I bought two sets and reached my personal purchase
limit for this month. I would have loved to also buy the boat and the parrot,
but that would be too much. If you put up just one set every other week, people
could better spread their spendings, and thus spend more.

You actually didn’t pay anything yet: you’ve just authorized the operation that
will occur when the set ships.
“When will I be charged for my order?
The LEGO Shop will charge your credit card, debit card or PayPal account when
your order is shipped.” https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/support/main.page

There’s still Kakapo (the parrot). Well, it’s not reached 5,000 on the main
page.

Sold out in UK too. The "still available (but not really)" type of advertising
is annoying but not really unexpected.

This level enthusiasm from the community should really get Lego thinking about
Ideas more seriously.
